Interesting! I have Nobsound Springs I can try under the amps I might do that. The results under dac and preamp weren’t to my liking though.

Tony…thanks! Funny you mention damping material for the amp top lids. I was just thinking about it the other day. I will look into it. 
Also, I haven’t had good luck with isolation devices but haven’t tried the springs you mentioned.

Thanks @hilde45   
I did have the XA30.8 and the X260.8 at the same time. I sold the XA30.8 and am just using the X260.8 right now. The monoblocks retain all the awesome sound qualities of the XA30.8 but have more /better control over the Sabrinas.

@jafant thanks! I am using Furutech FP-S032n on DAC and FP-S55n on preamp. Still undecided on the power cords for the X260.8 amps so for now using Audience Forte f3.

@jaytor Thank You! Yes - the room treatments helped with overall balance, coherence and focus. It’s a worthwhile addition.

@rixthetrick thanks!
The MoFi UltraDeck is a really nice table. Look into it. You won’t go wrong. 
The weights are actually door stops. They have rubber bottoms and don’t scratch. The added weight helps keep the components in place and also looks cool.
